DEATH OV COL. BAIT1I. We have received from Mr. Charles Ms ysun, of Capt. Tulien'a company, a copy of a long letter written ly a friend of the gallant 43d regiment, giving minute description oi the two terrible dnys at l'ituhurg Lauding th Ctb and 7th of April. The honorable part tore by the 43d has been the subject of fro quont praise, Bud we should be glad to pub lish this letter, had ve the space to fpare. We copy from it the following in relation to the brave Col. Uutth : Cu. IUuh wm ricked uu bv four men tote carried along,, but hit fig bciiK badly ahattcrcd. he kuflVrcd eiceedinif,ly, and insist ed on being luid down. Uu told the tiieuthey could be of inure nervine in tho rank with their regiment than by carrying off a disabled ofliccr, unu ulternute etitretitie unu coin munds. induced thcin to leave him renting apuinst a tree in a ravino neur a stream of water. Here the poor miiti hud to lay fur ocurly 24 hours. During the daytime tlio trees over liishcud were completely riddled and shivered to piec es by tho artillery nf the opposing unities, whilst the puttering of tlie Mu.mo nnd inns ket bulls, sounded like a shower of ruin on the roof of a house, Tim roar of c-intion, and continued report of small nrms, wan uninter rupted. Col. Kuilh wan during tin) dny time almost covered by fulliiijr brunches, piece of bark and splinters, und during the night lay eiposod to u drunehiiig ruin. The enemy, lis they panned, would oeci-dimully iri'jui ro niter his wunts, and administer to them us best they could, (mo scoundrel, however, differ ing from the L"eut mujoritv of the brave und generous enemy, rilled tin- colonels poeketNof their contents. It limy be us well to ri-murk here, tlmt with but very few- exceptions, the enemy treated our wounded with tho buiiio Consideration und kindness thut tln-y did their own, und it is not to h- wondered at that in an army ol ' lun.OiMt men, like thut led by Beauregard, there should be uu fw individ uuls whose nioritl stuiiilurd wns not high enough to prevent thetn insulting a disabled onemy. 'J lie wounded of the enemy were al moin a majority uf cases treated with greut kindness by our men. The only authentic instunees that I lmvo been uhi to hear of where insult and injury nresuid to have been given to the wounded of the enemy unci pris oners in our lmmN, was by those who had in gloriously fled from the field ol battle, und ta ken refuge below the river banks. On Mon day morning Col. I.aith was onnied by tho enemy ii'to a tent, and the position shortly after fulling into our hands, he was removed to the river. Uu Tuesday morniug bo was put on board the steamer Hannibal, where on Wednesduy his leg was umpututed. Hut the exhuustion and loss of blood ho had experi enced were too great, und ho died ou Friday night at II o'chiek. Although Cul. Kaith demanded of every man in his regiment the punctual perform ance of every military duty, and if necessury enforced this performance with tho utmost rigor, yet as he never demanded of others any more thun what he cheerfully rendered him self. His loss is felt by everymnn in his reg iment, like that ol a father, und I have fre quently noticed many a man wiping tears irom his eyes when the conversation turned to the brave und manly Kuith. A Democratic Govirnor in Wisconsin. Tho Milwaukee News says tho new govornor of Wisconsin, Edward Salomon, who has suc ceeded the lute Governor Harvey, is a demo crat. He is u Oernian citizen, resident of Milwaukee. The News says : Edward Salomon, our present gnvornrcr, is the first German born citizen who hns ever filled the gubernatorial chair of uny state in the union. We ure proud of the fact that Wisconsin litis, even by accident, furnished this first instance of the k ind ; but still more proud of another fact, which is, that in this case, the incumbent will confer more honor upon the ofliee thun tho office upon him. The President's Health. A correspond ent of the New York l'oxt says the health of Mr. Lincoln was never better at any period of his life than at the present time, lie is looking better than he did tho day of his in auguration. He bus gained steadily in health, strength, and even in weight avoirdupois. An Illinois citizen who had not seen the pres ident since he left Springfield till Suturdny laBt, was greatly surprised to seo him looking bo well. The cares aud troubles of office, nnd the imnieuso responsibilities of the war will not break him duwu (lis cheerful, hopeful temperament has carried him safely through trials which would have destroyed a more des pondent nature. Abolition auise of Gen, Hai.i.eck. Sen ator Sumner has at hist recovered his " pati ence," and yesterday in the senate ventured to ' speak" of Gen. llallcck. Referring to the order of the general preventing tho feder al camps lrom being nia'ie a rendezvous for ragabond negroes, the senator said it was "unconstitutional, absurd, deficient in com mon sense, on outrage upon common huuiau ity, and unworthy of a soldier," If this abuse of Gen. Halleck had been uttered in tho Rich mond senate by Wigfull, the indignation of the north would have been universal at such slander even from an enemy. Hut coming. as it does, from Sumner, it will be religiously swallowed by the abolitionists as the genu ine thing, though Halleck is now on the eve of a great battle, ono which is to determine the fato of the rebellion in the Mississippi valley and in which the lives of nearly two hundred thousand citizens of tho northwest will be in deadly peril. Chicago limes, May 2u?. The three cabinet officers of the last admin istration, who, in its closing hours exhibited k zealous attachment to the country, are now til, at the request of Mr. Lincoln, filling high and responsible stations. Mr. Stauton is sec retary of war ; Mr. Holt is one of the com missioners appointed to examine war claims against the government; Mr. Dix is one of the major generals of the army. As there can't be too much of a good thing, pretty rebel women should be pressed and re pressed. Louitv. Jour, Tut " Siioot him-on tih-Spot " Order The editor of the ledger wrote to Gen. Dis to enquire a to the origin ot the famous or- order, ''The first man that attempts to haul down the Amiricao flag, shoot biuj on the spot," this order having been attributed by the Ledger to the fortile brain of Mr. Secre tary Stunt jn. In reply t j the inquiry, Gen. Dix writes as follows : " You will find the original ' Shoot him on the Sxt ' order at the house of my son, liev. Mr. Dix, 42 Charlton street, framed, and hanging in his parlor. lieu I gave the or der I had no id"a that such an importunes would have been given to it, but, when I found it making a stir, I inclosed tho orignul to my son. .Yo man suggested a Kurd or saw it unlit alter it va vnlien.

The Commercial publishes passages of a letter from Gen. Grant, in reply to a letter in forming him of the nature ol criticisms of hit management of the battle ol i'ittsburg. Gen. Grunt suys ; "1 will goon und do my duty to the very best of my ability, mid do all 1 can to tirmi; tins war to a speedy close, l urn not uu aspirant for unvthinj; ut the close ol the war. There isoiie tiling I b el well assur ed of : that is, 1 havo confidence in every bravo man ot my command. 1 nose who showed the white feather wilt do all in their power to uttruct attention troiu themselves. I hud per haps a dozen offi 'ers arrested fir cowardice in the nrst (lay s nlit. I liese men are nec essarily my enemies. As to the talk about surprise, nothing could have been more false. I It lie enemy hud sent in word when und how they would attack, I could not have been bet ter prepared. Skirmishing had been giing on for two clays between our reconnoitering parties and the enemy's advance. I did not believe, however, they intended to make a de term i tied attack, but were simply tuakini; a reconnoisaiico in force. My heudqtiurtcrs were Savannah, though I usually spent the day at I'ittsburg. Troops were constantly arriving, to be consigned to brigades and di visions, all ordered to report at Savannah, making it necessary to keep an office and some one there. I was also looking for liuell to arrive, and it was important I should have every urruiigiiment complete for his speedy trnn nit to this side of the river. Tho Commercial' correspondent with Gen, Mitchell's army, gives the following explana tion of tho manner in which licuiiregurd's dispatch wns taken atliuntsville. The wires were broken at u point beyond lluntsville. llcuuregard's dispatch received nt Iluutsville, was being prepared by the operator there to be forwarded by locomotive to Chattanooga; thence repeated by telegraph to Richmond, when Gen. Mitchell surprised the town aud instantly seized tho telegraph offioo. Gen. Mitchell hinibolf solved tho cypher after an hour's study. There is mi doubt as to tho genuineness of the dispatch. Beauregard lost not Icsh than 20,000 men in killed, wound ed und prisoners, and the sick, used up and panic stricken, during his movement from Curiuth upon I'ittsburg Landing. Yankee Manure mr nt siteaincr, An Impromptu The following letter, published in tho Mar blchcad (Mass.JArfijcr, describes a shrewd Yankee trick ; " I'mteu States liiuo Roiuo, ) ciunuav, .uaren y, lwz. ) " Dear Parents Tho liohio has hsen at work again. Yesterday, tit ti o'clock A. M., wo sighted a schooner in tho horizon, hoisted the Spanish onsign, und she did the same, but ns soon-ns we run up the stars and stripes she hauled to tho wind and tried to escape ; wo put on sail after sail, till we had twenty one sails out: but the schooner was a smart sailer, and we did not gain any. We then ran out the guns, and fired two shots at her. but she did not mind it. The captain order ed the sails to be wet down, and they were drenched, and we began tocomo up with her. At last "? resorted to strategy, and rigged a 'smoke stack, amidships, and built a fire and soon had 'steam on.' Ab soon as she sow th is she hove to, thinking we were a steamer, and would soon catch her. e boarded lier, and found her to be the Henry Trovers, of Nas sau, N. 1'., and on the same errand as h other prize, viz.: to run the blockade. She has a cargo of coffee nnd soap, and her papers show her to be worth $.'.0,000. We are now on the way to the southwest pass with her she has boon boarded before by the Kingl fisher and allowed , ,,. We had a chase of eight hours, captured her at 2 P. M." Both the Generals Sherman are in Ilulleck's army near Corinth; tho one, William T Sherman (Kentucky,) now promoted to be major general, nnd the other, Thomas W Sherman (Port Royal,) who is still a briga dier. Their being so near together will lead to much confusion in battle accounts. On diA that somo of the schoolmarms who went to South Carolina several weeks ago, are not eo intent upon " teaching the young ideas how to shoot," as upon flirting with the officers, in a manner not entirely consistent with morality. Gen. Hunter is going to send some of the misbehaved misses home U nr. cuter (Mast.) Spy. j A IUoel Cannon Kept Quixt bv a Sharp SuooTm,-Tho Yorktown eorrespondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer lays: There is an old chop tn the Derdan sharp shooters known as " Old Seth." He is quite a character, and is a crack shot one ol the bsit in the regiment. His " instrument," as he calls it, done of the heaviest telescopic rifles. The other uight, at roll call, " Seth " was wn ut. This was somewhat unusual, as the old chap was always true to time, A sergeant wont out to huut him up, he being somewhat fearful that the old uiau bad been hit. After perambulating around iu the advance of the picket line, he heard a low "halloo." "Who's there?" inquired the sergoant. " It's me," responded Suth ; "sod I've captured a sevesh gun," " Bring it in," said the sergeant. " Cuu't do it," exclutned Seth. It imn became apparent to tlie ser csaut that "Old Seth " hud the exact raiiiie of One of the enemy's heaviest guns, and they oould not load it f r four of being picked off by him. Aguin tho oi l man shouted : "Fetch me a couple of haversacks full of grub, as this is my gun, and the cussed varmints shan't fire it again while the scrimmage lasts." This was Jmo, uu 1 the old patriot has kept good watch over that gun. lo fact, it is a " captured gun." Ik'Ri'iNo Soi.mtKs A live. Among the in cidents of tho war related by u soldier iu Gun. Shields' brigade, wdio writes to the liidiuna polis Journal, is the following : "I knew ot a soldier while I was at Cum berland to be buried alive, and of auother who was colhned and in the grave, and two of the three rounds tired over his grave, when ho attracted the interring party by knocking on tho lid ol the coffin.

Cairo, May 2. The river is stationary, and 8 inches higher than ever before known. The news from Cairo is of tho highest im portance, but its transmission over tho wires is prohibited. The bombardment ot Kort Pillow is contin ued by the mortars at short intervals. It was generally believed that u simultane ous attack would be made by the fleet before the end of the week. Iesertei s suy thut the entire rebel guubout fleet, under command uf Old Hollins, hud ar rived at Fort Pillow, and would make un ut tack on Coin. Footo us soon us preparations could he completed. Memphis papers of tho 26th of April say at u meeting held the night previous, it hud been concluded to burn tho city, in case of the approach of the federal Het. The fall of New Orleans is referred to, but no particulars are given. In an editorial the people are urgently called upon to reinforce Price at Fort Pillow, as the only means of saving ths city. Wasiiinoton, May 2. House Messrs. Morrill, of Vt., P.iddle, of Pa., and Vorhies, of lnd., tho first named having risen to a question of explanation, made remarks excul pating Gen. Smith from tho charge of drunk enness. Mr. Wash'nirn, of Illinois, also defended Gen. Grant from similar charges. Mr. Richardson, uf III., thought all these things ought to be left to the military author ity. If the riot act was read dispersing con gress, the army would get along much better. linvitK Yorktown, May 2d. Prof. Lowo bus brought up u huge balloon, called tho 111 treped. It was built to curry up from four to six persons, ami from its position in tho edge of the woods, towers up ithovethe lofty pines. It lies ut anchor ready ut all times to muko an asscusion. Gen. liurnard went up a few days ugo, and remained at anchor over York town, for neurley four hours. This is the fourth balloon we havo hero between tho York and Jumesgrivers. Wasiiinoton, May 2d.- Tho current re ports that Gen. MclKiwell Iihs crossod the Happahanock and occupied Fredericksburg, is untrue. Telegraphic communication is es tablished with him, 1'ispatches from Gen. Hallock, dated to-day say nothing ol the reported evacuation of Corinth. It is discredited. Peserters of the rebel nrmy continue to bo very numerous here. They are coming daily unu aimosi nouriy, irom various divisions of tho army, and all agree in their statement that tho rebel force is about 100,(100, and of a very general depression of spirits anion"' both officers and men. The news of our recent victories is kept sedulously from them. Special to times : Wasiiinoton, May 2d. Tho town was startled by a rumor that all the members of congress from the border slave stutes, and a number of conservative sympathisers from other states, were seriously considering tho propriety of withdrawing in a b.idy from the senate and the bouse, und thus precipita ting a decision by the people of the whole couutry, on the radical measures of confisca tion and emancipation. Fort Mosroe, Mav 2. A refugee from Norfolk who left last night in a row boat or rived here this morning. He sovs Com. Tutnull received sealed or ders on Monday and sailed, but opening them in Kliznbath river, found be was ordered to run the blockade and proceed to York river. He thereupon returned to Norfolk aud imme diately resigned his commission, together with his chief officers. There was a general expectation iu Nor folk that the Merrimao would come out at once. There ate 6,000 or T.OtKl rebel troops under Geu. Huger between Pig Point and Norfolk. iureo companies in rortsmouth rebelled a few days ago. It is also reported that part of Gen. Magruder's forces had mutinied at Williamsburg. A torpedo has been constructed at Norfolk calculated to be managed under water by one man, aud be propelled by him under the ves sel to be destroyed. It is said to be five or en feet long. Headquarters Army of the Potomac, May 22 P. M. The rebels opened this morning with their rifled Coluwhisd CG pounders, placed on the heighths of Yorktown. Our No, 1 battery of loo und 200 pounders Parrot t guns, was then brought to bear upon the only gun which has given us any trouble. Our shots fell oyer and around with every prospect of its being soon dismounted, when, on it id round, ;tbe enemy's gun burst in a thousand pieces, touring up the parapet and making huvoj with the crowd standing round it. No lest than ten persons were on the par apet within six feet of it, besides those who were hid from view beyoud the works. The destruction of hie must have been coiisidora bio. This was the only gun which has been shown capable of doing No. 1 battery any harm. All firing on their side ceased, while our guns were manned with renewed energy, di recting their shells Into the town. About 10U shots were fired by our guns up to 2 o'clock this afternoon, when all tiring ceased. A rebel steamboat ciime down the river und attempted to land at Yorktown, but was pre vented by a lew shots 100 pounder Parrot. The rebels kept up a continuous fire u II lust night on our men iu the trenches. The only casualties were the wounding ol two men. The weather is ug.iiu pleasant, ulel if it should continue, you can look out for startling news fr mi this quarter. Tho work luid out is approuching completion, Jos.

The Tribune's special from Cairo, says: From tho fleet wu learn of the capture of Itttton Rouge, aud the Confederate arsenal. Herald's Special : Wasiiinoton, Muy 2. About two months ago 1 stuted that there was iu contemplation by tho government uu liuiiiesty meusure; that it was proposed to offer suid amnesty us soon as our power extended over Richmond und a lew other specified places. Now 1 lonrn.oo in as many words directly, nor indirectly, that the subject matter of such un amnesty mcu. uru is actually under consideration, and may soon be issued. Tho whole depends on the immediato success or defeat of our army. I was told some time ago that such amnesty would be extended to all except Jetf. Pavis and his cubinet, und the confederate major und brig adier generals, with a low prominent and eminent civilians. New York, April A. A special to the Tri bune, giving un account of the capture of Ft. Miicon, says the fire of our batteries diiuouiit cd 2 i guns and tore up tho glacis and ruin- mrts iu the most effective manner. Of the O0 shots thrown 500 struck tho work. Tho guns of the fort wero worked with skill and courage, but the sum! bills of our position afforded complete protection to the men, and the hoisting of tho white flag was followed by a conferenco with Gen. Parks, resulting iu a suspension of hostilities till next morning. Puling tho night the proposition tosui! rcnuer win conimunicuieu to uen. liurnsmo, and in the ii.oru.ng articles of agreement wero signed. 1 he garrison surrendered us prison - ers of war, were released mi purolo, und were allowed to take their private effects with them. The ofliccrs retained their side arms. Those wero the terms originally proposed by Geu. Purk", but refused by Col. White, the commander of the fort. The surrender of Port Macon gives Gen. Itumsido a port of entry with securo anchor age fur his heaviest vessels. It gives the government another of its stolen fortili ations, with 50 guns, 20,0o0 bar rels of gunpowder, shot and shell in propor tion, 4'si ntiiud of arms, a large amount of stoics, -120 prisoners, und 'M horses. It ulso releases u portion of tho blockading licet so that it can bo sent to service else where, and ensures the retention of the dis trict of North Curolina. Gen. lliiriiside, in a general order congra tulating Gen. Parks mi his victory, con inuiids that the name of Fort Macon be in scribed on the colors of tho 4th, ftth and ts tit Connecticut regiments. The command of the Fort was offered to ('apt. Lewis ). Morris of the 1st artillery, ufterthc surrender.biit wii-. declined, and Col. Kodiiiun, of the dth Rhode Island, was placed in charge.
